The Monroe County Board of Education on Jan. 9 approved a series of routine items, including an amended agenda to add nonbinding letters of intent, the consent and regular agenda, January 2025 budget amendments, minutes from the Dec. 12, 2024 meeting, and appointment of the 2024–25 science textbook committee.

Board members first voted to amend the agenda to include nonbinding letters of intent for EESI and Skilled Services; the chair then presented the amended main motion to approve the consent and regular agenda, which carried on a voice vote. The board also approved January 2025 budget amendments after brief remarks confirming the district’s positive balance; a board member said the district’s fund balance had grown compared with historical levels.

The board approved the minutes of its Dec. 12, 2024 meeting and appointed members to the 2024–25 science textbook committee, listing committee members on the record: Justine White, Becca Carroll, Paige Taylor, Maria Underwood, Whitney Dyer, Jim Knesic, Jill Grayson, Casey Atkins, Janet Coe, Emily Roy, Chris Brannen, David Matlock, Josh Monholland, Shauna Bowers, Eric Weaver, Laura Jones, Alicia Connolly, Trey Ferguson, Kelly Robinson, and Stephanie Lane.

All actions were taken by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript. Where a voice vote was recorded, board minutes note the ayes carried and no opposed votes were voiced at the time of the meeting.
